| | The Wailers were advanced £4000 to make an album and, for the first time, a reggae band had access to the best recording facilities and were treated in much the same way as, say, their rock group contemporaries. | | | Bob Marley and The Wailers, quite simply, were the most important band on the road that year and the new album hit every chart in Europe. | | | The band's next album, Uprising, was released in May 1980. |

| | The Wailing Wailers had a huge ska hit with their first single, "Simmer Down," and recorded several more successful singles before Braithwaite, Kelso and Smith left the band in late 1965. | | | Veering away from the up-tempo dance of ska, the band slowed down to a rock-steady pace, and infused their lyrics with political and social messages. | | | In 1962 he was the driving force behind the trio's formation of The Wailing Wailers with Junior Braithwaite and back-up singers Beverly Kelso and Cherry Smith. |

| | Grunge bands avoided the complex, high budget presentations that bands from other rock genres such as heavy metal were known for; complex light arrays, pyrotechnics, and other technological visual effects unrelated to playing the music were not part of the concerts. | | | The sonic resemblance to such 1960s Northwest bands as the Wailers and, most particularly, the Sonics, is unmistakable. | | | Many grunge bands refused to cooperate with major record labels in making radio-friendly hooks, and the labels found new bands that were willing to do so, albeit with a watered-down sound that did not sit well with the genre's long-time fans. |

| | The Wailers' transition from a studio, singles-based vocal group to an album-based touring band signaled an attempt to repackage reggae in a form tailored to the consumption patterns of the rock market. | | | In an attempt to anticipate trends in the rock market, Island had signed the Wailers in 1971, with a view to building a new and larger audience for reggae. | | | Although Jamaican groups had toured British night-clubs intermittently during the 1960s, the leap in the scale of exposure entailed by the Wailers' tour was a major new development in the marketing of reggae. |

| | The Pilgrims are one of the most influential surf instrumental bands around and while much of their sound has a definite southern California influence, what sets them apart is the legacy of their Pacific Northwest rock 'n' roll ancestors: The Ventures, The Wailers, The Sonics and The Kingsmen. | | | The band's fifth LP/CD, simply titled "SATAN'S PILGRIMS", is their most adventurous yet and is full of different styles of "Pilgrim Rock" - classic surf, NW garage, and, of course, "Pilgrim Soul". | | | Satan's Pilgrims formed in 1992 during a series of house parties hosted by the members of the band, and were playing shows in their hometown of Portland, Oregon by 1993. |

| | Wailers’ guitar player Richard Dangel and Robin worked up a rock ‘n’ roll version of the song, but with a rootsy RandB feel, and we began performing it at gigs. | | | Rich was next to leave, about 1963, and for a brief time we tried out several guitar players, one of whom was Jerry Miller, then a local player who was and is a great guitar player (went on to become a Mobey Grape), and finally landed on Neil Andersson who fit nicely in the band. | | | Larry became the drummer in Rich's (Dangel/guitar player extraordinaire) group the Rook's, and Jim used to work for the Wailers as equipment man, driver, and all around good guy and helper. |

| | The Sonics combined the classic Northwest-area teen-band raunch with early English band grit (particularly influenced by the Kinks), relentless rhythmic drive, and unabashed '50s-style blues shouting for a combination that still makes their brand of rock and roll perhaps the raunchiest ever captured on wax. | | | The Sonics from Tacoma, Washington were formed in 1963 in the wake of the early 60s success of local favorites the Kingsmen and the Wailers (whose Etiquette label they recorded for). | | | The original members were Gerry Roslie (lead singer and piano/organ), Andy Parypa (bass), Larry Parypa (guitar), Bob Bennett (drums), and Rob Lind (saxophone). |
